bishbosh Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Now this could be just what the sport is looking for IMHO - the full on challenge scene has pulled ahead a long way in the last couple of seasons to a point where vehicle damage / breakage is pretty much guaranteed unless you don't have any bodywork. That is not a criticism, just an observation. I will certainly be interested in some rounds at least. Good luck Neil, just remember to dumb the punches down for us a bit compared to the grown ups!!

You are absolutely right and this is why Challenger 4x4 have stepped forward recognising that there is a gap to be filled. I have to point out that I am not in any way involved with the organisation of these event, I am merely the facilitator. Challenger 4x4 have my 100% support and that of the AWDC committee for their efforts. Events will be SE, SW and EM assuming we get our collective fingers out and book the sites Hell, I might even enter myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothy Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Good luck Lucy, Paul and co, there's certainly a need for a well run entry level series that's been missing since the demise of the Cluman's. Hope all goes well for you. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 It may seem like a stupid question, but do we have to enter the whole series, or will there be places available at each event for those just wanting to do a few?? Maybe this is a question for Challenger, but thought I'd ask here first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a discount for pre-entering and pre-paying the whole series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8CAMEL Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 how are you deciding the novice,intermidate,expert? paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliholic Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 how are you deciding the novice,intermidate,expert?paul Basically we will decide wether you are novice, intermediate or expert by what your previous experience in challenge events is, for example if you have competed in the Tay or Muddy Truckers you would be considered an experienced challenge driver. Alot of consideration will go into this and we aim to keep everyone happy as well as keeping the whole event fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliholic Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hello Mrs Bass here, as you are probably aware I am not a frequent visitor to this forum but I will try to get on here as much as possible to answer any questions you may have regarding this event. I would like to thank everyone for the support they have given and hope this event is as successful as we hope it will be. We will be confirming the venues hopefully within the next week once I have had confirmation from all of the Landowners.

My email is sales@challenger4x4.com and the return address for any completed forms with cheques is Challenger 4x4, Stadium Works, Oxenden Road, Tongham, Surrey. GU101AJ. Hope this isn't too much information at once. Looking forward to speaking to you all. Lucy xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliholic Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Just a quick note to say that the August event will actually be on 9th August and not the the 2nd as published. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 This sounds like it could be a big success... With the ideas you have on venues, what size of field (in terms of numbers of competitors, not acres/hectares )are you looking for?? Also - I know it's the first time you are running this - will it be a similar sort of set-up to the 'big brother challenge events' and include things like navigational and 'special stage' sections as well as all-out punch hunts?? (need to know whether my co-driver will need to be able to read a map and think logically!! ) Sorry for all the Qs, but it seems like it could be right up my street.

JST Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 yep sounds good and good to see Challenger behind it I will certainly be interested in some rounds at least. /quote] Pull the other one Bish - thats like starting a Std + 1 class and running DDCs.......... you were going to do those too!!!! - Only pulling your leg i know you wanted to cut up the rangie for a 90 and needed to find an excuse to do that first!

Adrian Turner Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'd just like to add that Challenger have been running events like this for a few years now and they have always been very well run, friendly family events with the section's/punch's set up to cater for all levels of entry's with a handycap systerm. You may well see a couply of top car's there but they ''WILL'' be handicaped! so go enter and enjoy the event. I'm nothing to do with these event's, But i've entered Challenger events before and they are bl**dy good fun days/weekends out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliholic Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Lucy here..... Thanks for your comments Adrian, love you x The locations we are looking at at the mo are the usual suspects Slab Common, Hogmoor, Slindon and then West Harptree, Coney Green, Devils Pit/Tixover. In which order is yet to be confirmed but will let you know asap. Lucy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliholic Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Lucy again, just a quick note to say that I am sending registration forms out hourly at the mo so if you have one already or wish for me to send you one please could you get your forms back asap as I don't want anyone to be disappointed. xLucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
